She had never been interested in such activities or other sports. It had been some time since she last exercised, so it was exhausting. Jonathan had already walked ahead, and when he turned around, he had already lost Scarlett, so he had to turn back and search for her. He found her resting at the same spot, looking tired. As he approached, she complained, "I'm so tired. I'll never do this again." Jonathan disagreed and said, "That won't do. You clearly lack exercise. It's bad for your health too. Staying at home all day is not healthy for you. From now on, we'll come here whenever we have the time so that you can improve your stamina." Scarlett was speechless. She had never seen the need to be physically fit. She hadn't led a particularly healthy lifestyle and was still perfectly healthy. She didn't understand what was the big deal. But she didn't dare to refute Jonathan. Neither did she have the strength to continue walking, so she pleaded with him, "Jonathan, I'm exhausted. Y
Zachary watched his sister helplessly. He had no choice but to step in and say, "It's better if we walk together. We can look out for each other. I believe Miss Langston wouldn't mind either." Scarlett couldn't believe how clueless and impudent these people were. She had yet to voice out her opinion on this matter. Were the Mitchells so clueless they couldn't read the room? Couldn't they see that Scarlett and Jonathan felt uncomfortable by the idea? It was hard enough for her to spend some alone time with Jonathan. Just as they started bonding, these two had to come along and ruin the atmosphere. It infuriated her to the core. At this moment, Jonathan refused firmly, saying, "It's okay. I'm afraid we're not going the same route."Tessa played dumb and pouted. "You're lying, Johnny; we're clearly going the same way! Scarlett, is there something wrong with your legs? Why are you being such a burden to Johnny?" Scarlett didn't expect Tessa to start lecturing her. Hadn't she
Zachary watched Tessa's unruly behavior and thought that although Jonathan's words crossed a line, they did make sense. He said helplessly, "Behave yourself, Tessa. Jonathan has made it quite clear there's no need to keep pestering him. It won't do you any good, either. Besides, this matter doesn't have anything to do with Scarlett. She didn't say anything at all. We should just drop this matter. Although Mrs. Sinclair has cut ties with Jonathan, I don't think things are as simple as it seems. She has always been very fond of Jonathan; she wouldn't act so harshly because of this incident. You don't want to offend her, do you?" Tessa became more adamant upon hearing Zachary's words. "I can forget what Jonathan said earlier, but you should stand up for me as my brother. I am your sister, after all. You have to help me out! Scarlett is nothing! She doesn't deserve Jonathan. This is ridiculous! She doesn't respect us at all. She just annoys me!" Zachary was getting a headache and c
She thought of someone else following them other than Mrs. Sinclair. She definitely did not have any ill intent; she was probably just concerned about them. However, the other party's intentions were unclear. They were probably after Jonathan or herself. Either way, she would not let them off easily. Since it was not a good idea to keep this from Jonathan, she decided to come clean with him and say, "Jonathan, you must've realized there were people following us, right?" She believed Jonathan couldn't have missed it with his sharp senses. Indeed, Jonathan smiled and replied, "Of course I did. But it's okay. You don't have to worry; it's nothing major." Scarlett paused momentarily before continuing, "Actually, I have a classmate working in the force, so I asked him to help me investigate this matter, and he told me that this might be related to you and the recent case you've been handling."She hadn't intended to make things so clear, but she was compelled to tell the truth seei
Scarlett was surprised that Jonathan would take the initiative and explain the situation to her. All her unhappiness immediately melted away, and her anger dissipated. How could she stay angry at him? She immediately said, "I understand. You don't have to explain this to me. I know it's about your work. Besides, I'm not an unreasonable person." He smiled reassuringly and hugged her. "Since we're already married, I should get to know your friends. Tomorrow is Sunday; why don't they join us for dinner?" Scarlett shook her head. She had already spoken to her friends about meeting Jonathan, but they all had plans for tomorrow. So she said, "I just met up with them earlier. We'll treat them to a good meal on our wedding day instead. It's okay. My friends understand you have a busy job."She wasn't angry at all as she knew him very well. He never had to explain himself to others, but today he took the initiative even though he didn't do anything wrong. She was overjoyed and even blamed
Scarlett couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt as she listened, but there was also a tinge of happiness knowing that Jonathan cared so much about her. Her mood immediately lifted. "I didn't expect him to care so much about me. It scared me to think he didn't care about me at all yesterday night. I was so worried he would lecture me when I came home yesterday, but it turned out he already knew I was with my friends. No wonder he didn't even bother to ask." Just then, Scarlett suddenly heard her phone ringing from her room. She hurriedly entered the room to answer the call, "Hello?" "Hi, is this Miss Scarlett? I'm really sorry, we made an appointment to view the house tomorrow, but I'm sorry to inform you that the property is no longer available. The only options left are second-hand houses, and some of them are too large. I apologize, but we wanted to let you know that there's no need for you to come over tomorrow."Scarlett was utterly infuriated by their attitude. They had agree
After Scarlett finally ended the call, she was surprised that she and Nancy had been chatting for over half an hour. It was quite dizzying as she had never talked on the phone for such a long time, not even with Jonathan. This was something rare, but it also indicated that her relationship with Nancy was turning for the better. At least, it seemed like a big step forward.Scarlett ran excitedly into the kitchen and said to Florence, "It seems I’m getting along pretty well with Jonathan's grandmother now. At least it's much better than before. Otherwise, she wouldn't have talked to me for so long. I think she has a good impression of me!"Florence couldn't help but laugh at Scarlett's triumphant look. "This girl may not be very talented, but she's exceptionally good at pleasing people," Florence thought as she playfully tapped Scarlett's head with a smile.“Don't hit my head! What if you make me dumb?” Scarlett laughed joyfully. She couldn't help but start imagining her wedding. T
The door was unlocked. It seemed that Jonathan wasn’t lying when he said Scarlett was silly. Although there wasn't anything valuable at home, she still had to have some practical safety awareness. Tessa shook her head, thinking that impoverished people indeed lacked basic instincts. She poked her head in and looked around. “Who are you? Why are you in my house?” Tessa was startled by the voice and turned to see the boy from before. "It's you!" The young boy recognized her too and thought, " Wasn't this the crazy lady from the apartment lobby earlier? What was she doing lurking around my doorstep? Could she be a thief? But she didn't look like one!"She was puzzled for a moment, and then it suddenly clicked as she recalled him saying this was his home. This was indeed Florence's address, but she wasn't married. Lost in her thoughts, Tessa was brought back to reality when the young boy exclaimed, "What are you doing at my house?" "It's none of your business!" Tessa retorted. "
